Climate change is melting the North Pole and it's no longer safe for Santa and his Workshop. So our dear old friend is packing up the sleigh to find somewhere else to live.

You can help! Move your mouse over this website to find gifts you can buy Santa to help him set up a temporary Workshop and protect the North Pole for his return.

Of course, you're savvy enough to know we won't be sending actual gifts to Santa. You will receive a tax receipt for 100% of your purchase and proceeds will be used by the David Suzuki Foundation to support our critical work to protect nature and the environment from threats like climate change.

Buying these green gifts and personalized ecards on behalf of hard-to-buy-for friends or relatives on your holiday list is a great way to show you're thinking of them — and the planet!

The North Pole, once a wintery wonderland, is no longer safe for Santa's Workshop.

Climate change is melting the snow and ice, and the rising water is getting too close for comfort. Santa must relocate — fast — to make sure that all the nice boys and girls still have a Happy Holiday.

You can help by buying Santa the supplies he needs to land safely in a new home.

Better yet, buy them as green gifts for friends and family to show you're thinking about them — and the planet — this holiday season.

How to purchase

Explore the scene below to see what's on Santa's List as he sets out to find temporary Workshop space somewhere else in Canada, and protects his home from the rising waters.

Click on each item for a description and select “Add to cart” to purchase as a “gift” for you or a friend. During purchase you will have the option to send an ecard to acknowledge your gift on behalf of a friend or family member. And don't worry, you will have the chance to specify when you want your ecard delivered so that your special person gets it right around the holidays.

Why give?

We hope you'll forgive us for having some fun with a beloved holiday figure. But climate change is no laughing matter.

Global warming is a serious problem, and poses a very real risk to all the winter traditions and experiences we as Canadians hold dear.

By supporting our “Where Will Santa Live?” campaign, you will be helping us develop a clean, renewable energy plan for Canada, affect climate policy decisions at a national and provincial level, and provide more resources to Canadians on how to go carbon neutral at home and at work, among many other initiatives.

What you receive

You won't actually receive a North Pole Snow Globe, or any of the other items on this page. You are purchasing what people call a “symbolic gift” as a means of donating money to support the work of David Suzuki Foundation.

You will receive a lovely ecard describing your gift, which we hope you will share with a loved one this holiday season.

You may get that warm, tingly feeling that comes with knowing you helped keep Canada cold by supporting vital work to turn back climate change. We certainly hope so.

It's only through the generous support of people like you that we are able to work with government, business and individuals to conserve our environment through science-based education, outreach and policy work.
